A$AP Rocky's trial in Los Angeles continues as his defense team prepares to present their case on Friday. The hip-hop star and fashion icon is facing charges for allegedly firing a gun at a former friend on a Hollywood street in 2021. The defense plans to call rapper A$AP Twelvyy to testify, who was present during the incident and is expected to claim that Rocky fired a starter pistol that only shoots blanks, used as a security prop.
The trial has brought attention to the A$AP Mob, a group of young artists that originated in a New York high school nearly two decades ago. The defendant, the victim, and Twelvyy were all members of this collective. The prosecution's case heavily relies on the testimony of the alleged victim, A$AP Relli, who claims Rocky fired a real gun at him, resulting in only minor injuries.
